AfD nomination of XSharp

I have nominated XSharp, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/XSharp. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

January 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Water (programming language). Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Mayalld (talk) 15:17, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for continuing to add spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. SGGH ^speak! 15:30, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Request reason:

I was trying to add an open source programming language to Wikipedia and then linking it from related entries. I am NOT spamming. I am discussing the deletion of the article with user Mayalld

Decline reason:

An open source programming language...that just so happened to be developed by your company...and you added it to various articles. That's spamming. — Smashville^talk 18:01, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:

I saw entries of companies such as JackBe or Water (programming language) adding their products to the Wikipedia as well so I thought this was valid. I was not aware this was against your rules. Could you please remove the block? Honestly I won't try to add or modify another entry without reading the Wikipedia rules first.

Decline reason:

No response to questions below in 16 hours; plus WP:OTHERSTUFF isn't a reason for unblock. — Daniel Case (talk) 00:35, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Please describe the edits you intend to make if you are unblocked.  Sandstein  18:56, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

{{unblock}} I can remove the links I added to other articles (in case you agree) and in the future only contribute material that follows the Wikipedia publishing rules. Once again, I apologize for the trouble, I am new to Wikipedia and I thought that adding this type of content was acceptable based on the entries from other companies I saw. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Codeglide (talk • contribs) 19:08, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Other editors have already removed those links. Note that you can reply here without using the unblock template each time (I edited the markup above because your previous unblock request is still active). — Athaenara ✉ 08:15, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

FYI conflict of interest guideline

Because no one else posted this for you yet:

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article XSharp, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. — Athaenara ✉ 08:36, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
